I did some thinking on this as well and came to the conclusion that 50mbps is enough for a single person.
extra bandwidth if good to have just in case and will save time on large downloads.

In the EU subsidies for infrastructure upgrades are tied to a minimum, non guaranteed, downlink speed of 30 Mbps. For a family it is enough for most normal uses.
ISPs perhaps decided it was commercially more convenient, for the industry at large, to cross subsidize demanding applications by providing everyone with gigabit class connections and CPEs.
